On the topic of therapy. I just arrived in Faro yesterday afternoon. Its a lovely quite european city on the water, by the way. My hostel is right next to a beautiful European park with fountains flowers and Gazebos you know the sort. Anyway attached to some of the benches in the park are bike pedals so you can sit and pedal and get some exercise in the fresh air and beautiful atmosphere. I saw a bunch of old men doing it yesterday. Isn't that a great idea!!!!! I've never seen that before! It would be great in all of our parks and to have in nursing homes and facilities like grandma lives in. Have you ever seen this before? I took a picture to show you.

My general itinerary is, as you've seen, packed with adventure, both good and bad. As to how I'd prefer it to be, well,this seems to be the only way I can operate and it sure makes for some great stories. IF I CAN EVER GET THEM UP ON THE INTERNET!!!!!

I am heading to Olhao to explore the island and nature preserve with flocks of birds today. Then Exploring Faro tomorrow for half of the day including a chapel constructed with human bones and skulls! Oooo creepy! Then I will head to Huelva to visit Yolanda and Javier for a day. (Aparently Johana is gone). Then on to either Arcos de la fontera or Cordoba, then Granada by the 28th because I heard back today from Tyler, the owner, and he says I HAVE THE JOB!!! YAY!! Not sure what will be in store for me there, but its only for a month and seeing as I'm involved its sure to be an adventure whatever happens.

That's it! I'm off to explore Olhao!

Love always,

Sandra
